How can a path param like get("/{id}") be enforced to be an Int and be casted as one in call.parameters["id"]? I looked at the docs, but don't see any mention of this... or maybe I missed it @Deactivated User?

I didn’t update the routing page yet

You can use either the locations feature to get typed parameters

[dave08]

Oh Coming soon...... 🤕, any little clue how I would do this in my case?

[Deactivated User]

Or just manually convert to integer. “string”.toInt() or --> “string”.toIntOrNull() ?: 0 if you want to handle the string not being an integer

[dave08]

I guess I'll try that, thanks!

have a look to those samples that use the location feature in the mean time

[dave08]

It might be nice to add links to the samples for all the coming soon sections... at least that would give a pointer in the meantime, what do you think?

[dave08]

It's a bit less work than writing all the docs at once, but would avoid people unfamiliar with the sources in having to search for all that 🙂

[Deactivated User]

I plan to fill all the features in the coming days. But yeah, even if they have content, I can put links to samples 🙂 that would help people to see how to use them with a bit more context

Thanks @Deactivated User, that's perfect! 😃
